Rish Performs "Caveat Emptor..." on Far Fetched Fables

FFF is a podcast that puts out short stories, mostly Fantasy, every every single week. I don't know how they do it, but hey, I can do a story for them when they ask.

This time, they asked me to narrate "Caveat Emptor, Caveat Venditor" by Edward Ahern.

It's about a wizard named Harald, who--

That's right, Harald. Oh kids, I had a bugger of a time recording this one, with almost constant repetitions of "said Harold sadly, as he-- I mean, said Harald sadly..." And even then, about one of every five Harolds I forgot to correct, and I had to decide whether it sounded enough like Harald to get by, or whether I had to rerecord the line.

Anyway, Harald is a failed warlock who teams up with a failed demon, in an attempt to change his stars. There's some mental telepathy between a human and a supernatural thrall, so I got to play with the audio a bit (and we've got a story coming on the 'steef with a very similar premise). You can listen to the story at this link!
